All right. I gotta be a kill-joy here. I have to back out, but not exactly because of the weather. I have one hell of a cold and even though the weather will be very ridable (low 40's and some rain but no snow or freezing temps), I can't imagine hanging out in that weather with this freakin' cold, especially without being able to take cold medication.

I hope Alex (and others) will join Victor and ride......and take some pix

The morning started off with a couple of pucker moments. Ice coating the drive and the next 4 blocks to the main road made for a couple of slippery minutes. After that it was just wet pavement. Arrived at the park at about 7:30 am and was in the front tier. Then it just a 2 hour wait looking at other bikes and enjoying the view. It rained a couple of times but not to bad. Once underway it was a steady 10 miles and hour. I put it in 2nd gear and it stayed there. It again rained a few times but not enough to get you soaking wet. Thankfully they let you drop your toys off at the park if you can't stay at Foster so I took off for home to get ready for work. Thas when the clouds burst. Didn't think I needed my frogtogs because I only got damp so far. Boy was I wrong. Especaily when the water ran down to the family jewels!!! But the warm glow off giving helped me stay warm!!!!!!!!! :glare: All in all it was fun and will try it again next year. Hopefully will see everyone then. I will post the pictures as soon as I get home..well maybe after some sleep. Take care all
